    Hi seanmoore2006 By the way if you need the 12mm to 19mm hose adaptor I have some here (only thing is that I don't know the working temp / pressure of the adaptors as we use them for cold fuel) I will gladly send you a couple free of charge. If you need them just PM me with your address and I...

    Hi, Yes provided that you mount the exchanger on a hot surface it should be fine - you could try pipe lagging round the exchanger that will work well. Our heat exchangers have been sold for about two years now, although initially we started with a slightly different design. Our current design...

    1, Low thermal mass exchanger (your's looks quite chunky so bringing it to temp will be a lengthy process) Provided your water is up to temp it takes less than 20 sec to raise the entire block from cold to 80 DEG C Our heat exchanger was specifically designed to heat Veg oil. The one you have...

    No Tax on Veg !!

    Hi seanmoore2006 The heat exchanger will heat your oil up to temp by the time your engine is normally up to temp, however long this normally is in your region. You are correct that electric heaters can get the oil to temp faster and will be fine with Bosh pumps, just be wary of the other more...

    No Tax on Veg !!

    Yes I am slightly biased, but I would not even risk my own car Injection Pump for the small amount of effort to convert and even if you make all the bits yourself rather than buying a conversion kit it is still worth doing. A new injection pump will cost between £500 - £2000 depending...

    I aggree with redhand, just check what injector pump you have if it's any of the fragile ones like the Lucas, treat it carfully not too much veg especially in the winter, they are prone to failure with the thick oil. - and it will be a very expensive experiment if your IP pump fails. Mike

    If using low % of Veg oil 5-10% mixed with diesel then in most instances you can just put it in the tank and go, no conversion nessesary. The conversion is only nessesary when you wish to run on 100% veg oil. Although some injection pumps are more forgiving than others (Bosch is the most...

    Bosch or Lucas?

    5-10 % I'm sure you would be fine,In fact it will offer improved lube to your pump. Just if you add higher % it might survive it might not, luck of the draw. Most of the damage will be done from cold. once up to temperature then the pump is far less likely to be damaged. Adding a duel tank...

    Bosch or Lucas?

    Hi, Yes you can mix small quantities of veg oil in with you diesel, just put in the tank, although I would not recommend high leval's without conversion, Especially with the Lucas Cav Pumps. Doing so will stress your injection pump considerably due to the high viscosity of veg oil when not...

    Diesel/ veg oil thing?

    Hi, Yes you can mix small quantities of veg oil in with you diesel, just put in the tank, although I would not recommend high leval's without conversion. Doing so will stress your injection pump considerably due to the high viscosity of veg oil when not heated. This could result in failier or...
